It's OK to change your mind.

Just use our Quick Change Brush Cleaner if you're using the same brush. Switch from one shade to the next and keep your application true to color with this fast-drying cleaning spray.

Flawless Application Face Brush
I have a love/hate relationship with this brush. On the one hand, it applies my blush/bronzer/mineral veil evenly, without being too much. On the other hand, the bristles do shed and lose some of its softness.
Also, because the bristles are natural, after you wash them they do become soft again, but lose some of stiffness in sticking together. Overall, it does do a good job of applying what I need it to and making it look "flawless;" just wish that for one of the staple brushes it would keep some of its integrity.

Great for all-over face color and blushes
This was one of the first BE brushes I ever bought. I use it for warmth all over face color, blushes and bronzers. It helps ensure the colors go on smoothly and naturally, without a cakey look. I can use this to also brush color under the jawline or even my neck, and it works great. I own several of these, and I use them all the time.

hurts my face!
This brush really hurts my sensitive skin and brings out the redness. It does cover well, btu if you have sensitive prone skin and you turn red easily I would beware.

not bad but...
It pokes my face, feels itchy and it sheds a bit.
It does work though, quite nicely. Wish it wasn't so pokey

Gives a nice finish
I use the Ready foundation and been using it with the Precision brush for over a year however sometimes I can look a little cakey with all that coverage so I decided to try the Flawless brush. I like the finish look I get from this brush better. However the brush hairs are not as soft and they shed a lot so I only gave it 3 stars.

Fawless Application Sheder Brush
Received this brush in my starter kit and used to apply mineral veil and warmth. Started losing hairs the second time I used it and by the 3rd time I had more hairs on my face and in my eyes that I never used it again. Really disappointed.

Great Brush... Not For Me
This is a very nice brush, which is why I gave it five stars. It is just not my cup of tea. I much prefer the buki brush for the type of coverage I want from foundation, and I use the soft focus face brush for applying mineral veil, radiances, bronzer, etc..
That being said, I do have a nice brush roll that I keep this brush in because if I find a use for it, I will not hesitate to break it out and use it. I got it with my get started kit, and I just switched to the handy buki because of my coverage preference.

Okay
This brush distributes product evenly, but it sheds and the hairs are difficult to pull off of my skin. Doesn't look so good to have little hairs on your perfectly made-up face.

Flawless
I love this brush! It cleans well, applies makeup well, and I've had it for four months and it looks and feels just the same as when I bought it. I'm satisfied.
12/01/2012

I use this brush to apply my foundation and love having the control of sheer to medium coverage. It buffs the foundation well and provides nice coverage over my entire face that only take a few minutes to do each morning. The brush is soft and I wash it every two weeks using the BE brush shampoo; it has held up well with the cleaning with only a few hairs falling out over the past several months.

could be a great brush
The last 3 of these brushes I have been very disappointed with. EVERY one of them starts to loose it's bristles with in the first few uses. Every day I have bristles left on my face or in my eyes because of this brush. The last one I got smelled like skunk when I opened the package. I don't know what chemicals you are using when making this brush, but you may want to reconsider.

I use this brush for my mineral veil and Blush and it works perffectly!!!
12/23/2011

Depends on the purpose
This brush is hard to rate, because it really depends on what you are using it for. If you have any kind of skin issues, this is not the best brush to apply foundation as it provides a smooth but LIGHT coverage. If you are using it for mineral veil or face color, then it is great. I also have issues with it drying too fuzzy after it has been washed. So, I can only give it four stars, even though I use it nearly everyday.
11/03/2011

Good for light application
I like a light foundation layer so this works fine. I had tried to use a none BE brush but this one is much better.
10/19/2011

Good For mineral veil-but bristles fall out
I'm also having the problem with the bristles falling out. I thought it was just me, but apparently not. I use this brush for mineral veil and for warmth and occasionally for blush but it doesn't give nearly enough coverage for the foundation.
05/20/2011

Great smooth finish
I prefer the handy buki for foundation but on good days when I don't need much coverage I use this instead. I use this brush everyday for both warmth and mineral veil. It gives a great light coat. I think this brush is more for all-over-face color and mineral veil as opposed to the criticisms (some other reviews) regarding its usefulness for foundation coverage. That has just been my experience.
01/09/2011

I like this brush for applying my Bare Minerals foundation and also the Illuminating Mineral Veil. If you want a lighter application than the Buki brush, this is the right brush for you.
01/03/2011

Love it!
I have had this brush for over 2 years now and it is still in GREAT shape! It is super soft and it works really well for warmth and mineral veil. I wash it at least every 2 weeks with BE Well Cared for brush conditioning shampoo and it comes out softer every time! I do not have a problem with bristles falling out at all! I will never buy brushes from anywhere else ever again!

Mixed Feelings
I'd actually rate it a 3 1/2 <3's. I don't use it with mineral foundation but with normal compact makeup (I don't have the time to buff for 10 minutes and mineral makeup look the same as compact makeup on me) because it applies pressed (as well as loose) powders lighter than other brushes and builds coverage. It felt really soft when I got it at the store but when I used it I realized it could be softer; sometimes it pricks a little and therefore leaves the skin a little red for a minute after application. The brush also sheds more than you'd expect and smells like old attic through the first few washes. With washes my brush also spread out so it doesn't look as neat as the one pictured here. These are minor details but they can be very annoying! Some positive bits are that it's tapered so it blends makeup well with skin as well as bronzers and blushes and it's a nice medium size so it can be used everyday and while traveling. I'll use it until it dies on me but I'm not 100% sure I'd get it again.

Why I do not like this brush
The Flawless Application Face Brush does not give me the right amount of coverage with Foundation or Mineral Veil. I had to go over my face multiple times to get the desired result. It takes me a while to get ready in the morning, so I don't want to spend a lot of time on my face.
The hairs on this brush fall out, and the brush feels prickly on my face. The handle also separated from the brush. I would not purchases this brush again because it did not give me the coverage I desired. The quality of it was not good, either.
I love BE brushes. This one just wasn't for me.
